| Bottom Line: |
You’ve got to hand it to people who make porn for their ability to take just about any situation and sexualize it. In all my years of surfing for and buying porn I don’t think I’ve ever encountered a site that sexualizes shoplifting and getting caught. But, in hindsight, the interaction between a shoplifter and a store security guard creates a power imbalance and a power imbalance forms the plot for a lot of porn. So in that sense, Shoplyfter isn’t unusual.
The site is relatively new, having begun in September 2016. As of this writing there are 37 videos available and the site continues to grow with the addition of one video per week.
As a fan of how a scene is set up this site has a lot to offer. The set up for each scene is quite lengthy and begins with the model or models being brought into a dingy office by a store security guard. The underlying set up is the same in each scene: the model has been caught shoplifting and will now be questioned by the security guard before being turned over to the police to be charged with a crime. In each case the model presents as being quite nervous and there is an obvious sinister element to the security guard (whose face we never see). As each interrogation continues the model is searched and this requires removing her clothes in case something is hidden under them. Photos are also taken by the guard. Each scene progresses through the interrogation and into the guard suggesting that there is a way that the model could avoid all the hassles and shame that being a criminal would bring. That suggestion is, of course, some kind of sexual activity. In most of the scenes that sexual activity starts off fairly tame with fondling. After a bit of fondling the guard takes out his cock and the shoplifter is ordered to perform oral sex on him. In all of the scenes that progresses to sex.
In a majority of the scenes the model is portrayed as being reluctant at first but then is shown as enjoying the sex if not the circumstances.
A majority of the scenes are with one female model but there are several with two models.
Apart from the setup these are all fairly standard hard-core scenes. I didn’t see any scenes that had anything unusual in them.
The website itself is logically laid out as you would expect with a site that is currently this small. All of the scenes are laid out on a short series of pages and a member doesn’t even have to open a new page to access each scene as the download options are available right on that page.
Speaking of scene resolutions, they are available in three: 640x360 (850kb/s), 960x540 (2700kb/s) and 1980x1080 (12000 kb/s). All scenes are 29fps.
As you can tell by looking at the available resolutions above, there is too wide a gap between the available resolutions. The site really needs to add a fourth resolution to bridge the wide gap between the 540p and 1080p files. The obvious solution would be to either replace the 540p files with 720p files or add them as a fourth option.
Apart from the obvious drawbacks of having to take either a too small or too large resolution for your personal preference the other issue is file size. For example, with one of the scenes I checked on the file size for the three resolutions was 358MB, 1GB and 4.3GB. That is a large difference in file size.
The site has lacks a search function, tags or even model names. As such it isn’t possible to search and find specific models that you like. Each scene is given a name on the page but that name doesn’t include the model name. Fortunately, the model name is provided when you go to download the scene so you aren’t left guessing. An obvious and easy improvement for the site would be to include the model name in the scene description.
I had no problem using a download manager to queue-up seems to download. I didn’t encounter any timeouts but I also didn’t really download in any way that I might encounter them if they exist.
I found that download speeds were equivalent to what I see on comparable sites, which is to say that speeds were good and downloads were stable. As an aside, I’ve had other memberships from the same parent company and find that while the downloads themselves are quite fast the page loads take much longer than I’m used to. The slow page loads isn’t a deal-breaker for me and shouldn’t be for any prospective member either but you should be aware of it.
There isn't anything about this site that would cause me to highly recommend it. It is good porn with some top models, but apart from the scene set-up (which some will appreciate) the sex isn't any different from what you can get on many other sites. With regular updates the site continues to grow and with the TBP discount it is a good value. The site is good but not great. Prospective members who go in knowing the site’s limitations will likely be satisfied customers. |
